Abstract

The present invention provides a feeder cutter that pulls media from a continuous roll of media and feeds it to a print engine. The feeder cutter includes a number of subsystems that draw media from the media source, present the media to the print engine and maintain tension on the media. The feeder cutter isolates the velocity used to feed media from the media source from the velocity used to feed media within the print engine. At the end of a print job, the feeder cutter cuts the media under tension and minimizes the media wasted between print jobs.
